Trying to install the latest version of aokp(4.1) on the one S..... Prior to 4.1, had no issues with the fusion kernel (2.0)....
Because of the wifi driver being built from source now Fusion ultimate AOSP will break wifi on newer CM builds . Klin1344 suggest using the new kernel since it's much improved and faster...:good:

So I followed the installation instructions on the AOKP Jellybean build 4.1.
Installs great... The kernel switchs from fusion to the new one and WIFI works... as soon as I reboot and it reverts back to the fusion kernel and lose WIFI... I literally need to fastboot the boot.img from rom.zip after every reboot and its driving me crazy.

What do I need to do to prevent the kernel from switching back after reboot?:confused: I also tried installing the cm 10 nightly that has a different kernel and it does the same thing. I had a back up( my only backup since my old computer died) with the Fusion Kernel 2.0 with unofficial AOKP Jellybean 4 on it and i have no current issues with this build besides the video glitches.

Cm10 now uses a unified kernel for the one xl ,one s and evo lte. It is also using a open source WiFi module now. Fusion is not using the new kernel source and is not compatible

So how do I install aokp 4.1 if I have the fusion kernel installed on aokp 4? As soon as install 4.1 , the new kernel works and then as soon as I reboot the phone it seems to revert back to the fusion kernel :(

What you're saying doesn't really make sense. When you flash one kernel, it erases the one installed previously. I'm guessing you are not really flashing the kernel properly in fastboot.

Trying to install the latest version Cm10 ......any build prior to October 1st , had no issues with the fusion kernel...I understand that because
of the wifi driver being built from source now Fusion ultimate AOSP will break wifi on newer CM builds . Obviously I want to update to the latest build and update the kernel ..
my problem is after I install the latest build , The kernel switches from fusion to the new kernel and WIFI works. Then as soon as I reboot and it reverts back to the fusion kernel and lose WIFI completely... I literally need to fastboot the boot.img from rom.zip after every reboot and its driving me crazy.

What do I need to do to prevent the kernel from switching back after reboot? I also tried installing aokp that has a different kernel and it does the same thing. I had a back up( my only backup since my old computer died) with the Fusion Kernel 2.0 with unofficial AOKP Jellybean 4 10 01 on it and i have no current issues with this build besides the video glitches

So you're saying that without intentionally flashing the fusion kernel it is reflashing itself every time you reboot? Doesn't sound right..
Delete the fusion kernel zip from your phone then reflash the Rom, forget about the kernel.

Yeah so I've deleted the fusion zip from the SD card, but its installed in the current rom(aokp 01 10) then I follow the installation instructions for both cm 10 nightly 10 09 and aokp 10 08 as usual .... I've tried flashing the boot.iMG in fastboot first then flashing the rom.zip and also flashing the rom.zip then fastboot the boot.img .... the new kernel is there until I reboot and them fusion reappears as the installed kernel and no more Wi-Fi

Wild guess here... Your'e not confusing fastboot boot boot.img with fastboot flash boot boot.img? The former would just tell your phone to boot using the boot.img, the latter will flash it permanently to the boot partition.
